Do you recall it's name
As it suggested beck and call
This face and heel
Will drag your halo through the mud
Ash of Pompeii
Erupting in a statues dust
Shrouded in veils
Because these handcuffs hurt to much
Scalping these ticketless applause
And when they drag the lake there is nothing left at all
Seutured contusion
Beyond the ant hills of the dawning of this plague
Said I've lost my way
Even if this cul de sac would pay
To reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
Sterling clear
Blackend ice
When they drag the lake there's nothing left at all

I've defected

Seutuerd contusion
Beyond the ant hills of the dawning of this plague
Said I've lost my way
Even if this cul de sac did pay
To reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
Sterling clear
Blackend ice
When they drag the lake there's nothing left at all

I've defected

Beyond the ant hills of the dawning of this plague
Said I've lost my way
Even if this cul de sac did pay
Beyond the ant hills of said I've lost my way
Even if you reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
Sterling clear
Blackend ice
When they drag the lake there's nothing left at all

This is my last insicion
The stitches have defected
Drag me a vessel
Coveting all you know see and hear
This is my last incision
The stitches have fallen off
Sterling clear blackened ice
And when they drag they lake there's nothing left at all

I've defected

    General Comment:I've always thought that it was "I'm defective" but I guess I was wrong. Oh well!

    General Comment:When I was 18 I ate 2ci and went to a concert. Anyways I bugged out and ran outside and when they wouldn't let me back in. When I got home and the ride home I was listening to this album. I thought he was saying I'm defected like there was something wrong with his brain. It was weird tripping thinking about some dude going crazy then jumping to his death.

    General Comment:n Cicatriz ESP Cerpin awakes yet again to find that he has been transported to a barren desert named Sowvietna. All his memories have been erased.

    As well as transported, Cerpin finds that he has been transformed into something else. In his new form, he speaks in sounds of click and grunts, and he finds that solid objects (his hands in this case) can pass through his body.

    He is no longer Cerpin taxt, but has become Clavietika Tresojos, and he is now a she.

    General Comment:Just a thought - I just got back from Pyramid Lake, which is a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Lahontan in Nevada & the whole region reminded me of this Mars Volta album. I thought of the lyrics "when they drag the lake there's nothing left at all".

    The whole region is ridiculously flat (along with Black Rock desert right next door) and empty... totally empty, as it once was the bottom of a giant lake.

    Anyway, go there. Think of this song. It might make sense.

    Song Meaning:Yeah, it's about the leader of legion and a woman who was "helped" by him and later drowned herself.
